Crowley as Captain.

Crowley as Captain. Manager Troy yesterday put Crowley in as captain of the New Haven team. Crowley wanted to be captain when he first came here, but Farrell had been decided on for that po- sition. As the latter did not come Troy was appointed captain until Farrell arrived. Since Troy was made manager he decided to put Crowley in. 'tBill' is veteran ball player and will make good man for the place. Manager Troy last night telegraphed to Friss, who is now in New York and who two
 or three seasons ago played short stop for the l Hartfords. Manager Troy is in hopes of get ting him to play short stop.
 The New Ravens will go to Bridgeport to- day. The new pitcher McKenna, whom the COURIER stated yesterday morning as having arrived in town, will be tried. Brill will probably play short stop, but Manager Troy is undecided as to whom to put on third base. If Leary pitches right along he cannot be played every day, and this will take him off third base. Weckbecker will catch to-day. The diamond at Hamilton Park will be scraped today. All the sod will be taken off and the ground rolled until it is hard. The players say the diamond will be good deal better.
